A quick mooch after a phone call of the farmer !

[vizlauk 1,568]

Had a late message of a resident on a estate I shoot on, 10pm Saturday night, there's a fox about, 

Belly full of Indian food, reply was I will have a run up Sunday night, 

Well Sunday was a good day, shoot my first 100 sporting registered comp, 78 /100 , 

Then ventured up go my permission with the 17hmr as ive just put a new pard nv008plrf on the 223c& haven't scoped it in yet! 

A fox was spotted in the thermal,  a good 600 yrds out, a few good squeaks on the caller in it come, it dropped down in the valley 274 yards away, then appears on my side of the valley,  a few more squeaks in he comes  it msde a fatal mistake & stops for a look, 176 yrds , straight to sleep with a lovely head shot, straight through the top of its head, dropped on the spot, 

Happy Sundays

Good shot. Nicely played.

Yep, I've had to do so back peddling over my attitude to HMR recently!

Really can't fault the hmr, ideal with the pard nv008lrf on it, you know exactly how far your target is, wouldn't part with mine, 

Just bought another pard nv008plrf , thats going on the 223 !

Sean is the Pard 008 a new one or one with the stronger laser because I have heard on several forums that the new ones are not a patch on the earlier ones with a few guys saying they have fitted an extra IR torch as the range was so poor.  In fact whilst in the RFD the other day, a young guy who works there offered £900 for my pal's as it is a year old and classed as an older model.  The young guy stopped bidding on ebay for the 008 at £900, it went for £1200 according to the young guy.

He should have sold it and bought something else and have cash left over.

I have 2 of the older nv008 , 1 original non lrf & 1 about a year old lrf, just bought a brand new nv008plrf & its not a patch on the other 2 older models,  the ir is crap, i even took the diffuser out the brand new 1 & it gained nothing,  made the ir crosshatched,  so i put the diffuser back in ! The older versions are much better !

Phil , there is a filter which needs removing , then after that it becomes brighter 

just seen what viz said , but a lot have said it works a lot better without the filter
